My Latest Project
If you’ve been here before you may notice a change. Yes, my look is different yet again, but I think I’ll keep this look for the time being. This is all part of my latest project. I have been on an organization mission.
It all began in my private office. It was once my jewelry studio and it is now slowly transforming into my library. It is amazing how many books one person can accumulate. I literally can have people come into my ‘new library’ when it’s finished of course, and check out books. I have books on Faith, Marketing, Children, Parenting, Health, Nutrition, Chiropractic, Fiction, Non-Fiction, Decorating, Jewelry Making, and of course Homeschooling.
Which leads me to my latest project. I feel that God has called upon me once again to focus on homeschooling. I continue to school my children and one will actually be graduating this year. Wow, time sure does go by quickly!! But, since I have been homeschooling for over 10 years and have tried anything and everything available to homeschoolers, I feel that the Lord is leading me to take my experience to another level. Hence, the birth of my latest informational site, Dr. Mommy Home School Tips.
I am having a blast writing about my experiences homeschooling and sharing tips, ideas and methods with others. My tips will help those who already homeschool, are considering homeschooling or would like to supplement to their child’s education. A lot of what I write about is faith based, but I will also be sharing resources of the secular venue. I am in the process of putting informational packets together that can be purchased and used as check points and check lists for your homeschooling venture. I have many more projects, that I can’t share at this time, but will soon.
I love to write and feel that this is the direction I must follow. I continue to share my health/wellness and nutrition experience on my Health Blog. Which has just recently been recognized by some health professionals in the blog world and have included my blog amongst theirs on a new project called Wellsphere. I feel quite honored to have been chosen to be a part of a wonderful group of health professionals.
My organization phrenzy has carried out into my home as well. I have been organizing our ‘classroom’ area and preparing for a wonderful new school year. I have my children organizing their rooms and removing items that are no longer used and clothes that no longer fits. It’s amazing how fast kids grow out of their clothes. With 5 children, I can actually open a consignment shop, but won’t because I think I will lose my mind!! So, for now they will be donated or perhaps Ebay…hmmm, no, I think donating will be easier and less work for me.
So, I guess, my Spring Cleaning occurred a bit late in the year, but it feels good. It feels good to be organized and feel organized in my mind. The economy doesn’t make it easy to organize my finances, so I will continue that battle on a daily basis, but pray that God will guide me in the correct direction when dealing with that subject as well.
Well, this is all for now, I must continue cleaning up, thanks for visiting.
The Chronicles continue…..
Back to school - when I read those words I recall the Staples commercial with the daddy pushing the cart and the kids following behind with their frowns and heads hanging low. The jingle is ‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year’… Seeing that makes me chuckle and wonder why those children are not happy to return to school.
Wow, it feels like it has been raining in our state for 40 days!! Ok, I’m exaggerating a bit. We are certainly used to afternoon showers, but it has been raining morning, noon and night. It is enough to drive a person like me insane.
Today was a time of reflection for me. I had to sit and determine what was best for me as a home school mom and business woman. I prayed long and hard and determined that it was best for me to remove myself from many of the online distractions. So, as difficult as it was to determine what to let go, I accomplished it today.
Have you ever wondered why we cross our fingers to wish someone luck, to avoid bad luck or when we are saying something untrue and don’t want to held accountable for it? We always say, ‘keep your fingers crossed’ or ‘that didn’t count, my fingers were crossed’. Well it all started with Desmond Morris and his colleagues and it was called the ‘cryptic version’ of the cross. This was a way for Christians to display their beliefs without attracting the attention of pagan eyes. It was only after its origins were obscured by longstanding repetition did the crossing of the fingers, turn into a social gesture performed by Christians and non-Christians.
Amazing how time flies!! Can you believe that Christmas is right around the corner? Crazy, I know!!
The kids are out for the summer and you have exhausted all your plans for a fun summer vacation….wow, I hear that every summer! Imagine having your children home all day…
Well the time is almost here to begin home schooling for the new year. This past school year was wonderful and so much so that I actually gave my children a break for the summer. We usually school through the summer, but decided to give them a break which in turn gave me a bit of a break too.
I just heard a great newsclip on swapping for services and it reminded me of the many swaps I have done through out the years. With today’s economy it is a great idea to swap for items you would normally pay for.
